To (bi/Z1 LU/b07771 it may concern.-

gBe it known that I, NATHAN D. COLE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Norwood, county of Kent, State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Emble1nCharms, of which the following is a specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the improved construction of the joint between the upper and lower members of the emblemcharm, whereby one of the members will be firmly held between two shoulders, and thus prevented from movement relatively to the other member.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents the front view of an emblem-charm provided with my improvement. Fig. 2 represents an edge view of the same. Fig-2" represents an edge view of the upper member of the charm without the lower member. Fig. 3 represents the front view of an em blem-charm of different construction. Fig. 4 represents an edge view of the same. 5 represents a longitudinal section of the joint between the upper and lower members. Fig. 6 represents an edge view of the same.

In the drawings, Figs. 1 and 2, A represents the head or upper member of the charm, and B the lower member, the said members being jointed to each other by means of the hollow wires a a, soldered to the base of the upper member, and the intermediate hollow wire I), soldered to the upper edge of the lower member, the said upper and lower members being then connected together by means of the pin 0, which passes longitudinally through the bores of the said hollow wires a a and b. Heretofore in the manufacture of such charms the wire 0 has been drivenin tightly and the ends of the said wire upset, so as to hold the upper and lower members in the same plane with each other; but it is found in practice that the joint so formed is liable to become loose, so as to require repair, and in order to obviate this difficulty I have provided the hollow wires (1 a with the attached collars (Z (Z, which serve to form the shoulders e e, between which the upper edge of the lower member is held, and by means of the said shoulders the upper and lower members are prevented from turning upon the joint-pin c, which fastens the said members together.

Another form of construction is shown in Figs. 3 and 4, in which the cape g is employed to cover the hollow wires a a and I), which serve to form the joint between the upper and lower members, the hollow wires a a, being soldered to the scroll-piece h of the lower member B and the hollow wire I) soldered to the head or upper member A, the said hollow wire I) and the connected cape 9 being provided with the shoulders e e, as shown in Fig. 6, the said shoulders serving to embrace the sides of the said scroll-piece h, and thus serve to prevent the movement of the upper and lower members relatively to each other. The said members A and B may be readily connected or disconnected by means of the fastening-pin 0, so that changes in either of the said members may be readily effected.

I claim as my invention In an emblem-charm, the combination of the upper and lower members, with the longitudinally pinned tubular joint and the abutting shoulders which serve to prevent the swinging movement of the said members.
